It's really situation dependent. The wider the tire, the more it distributes weight, which means less ground pressure. While this is desirable in sand and mud, it's quite the opposite when driving in rain or on icy roads.
A BALCONY is a narrow platform projecting outwards from the wall of a building A GALLERY is wider than a balcony. Most galleries overhang the width of the sidewalk, and are supported by posts or columns reaching to the ground
Made by Giti Tire of Singapore and sold in Walmart. -I have no reports of good or bad. - Personally, if I could get an American or Japanese tire for a few bucks more, I would. The guy behind the counter at Walmart whispered to me they are better than Walmart Goodyear tires.
The life of any tire depends how you treat it and how you drive. Continental are no better or worse than any medium average tire, they're not Michelin, but not junk either.

They have more traction.
Wider tires generally add to a more comfortable ride and better road holding.
They grip more road surface.
Wider tires give better traction, esp in less than perfect conditions. Narrow tires would give better speed and/or gas mileage. One might think that but not necessarily, it depends on the road surface. Why do ice skates have thin blades? What do you think a wide racing tire would do on a flooded street? Even in dry conditions, a wider tire won't change your traction because even if you have more area (square inches) on the ground, you have less weight per square inch so traction remains the same. How soft the tire is is the biggest factor.
Why do you assume there is ice underneath the snow? In most instances there is no ice under the snow. The narrow tire can get down to the pavement easier than a wide tire.
Your question makes the assumption that the question is true. Wider tires are not more efficient than narrow tires at normal speed in all conditions. Wider tires do provide more traction and stopping power on dry or wet pavement as they have more tread contacting the road. But a wide tire that is worn also has a higher tendency to hydroplane on a wet road than a narrow tire. In snowy conditions a narrower tire is almost always a better choice. Wide tires tend to float over the snow instead of digging in and they usually provide less traction. Wide tires also may provide less fuel economy than a narrow tire. It depends on many factors.

Wider tires provide more of a "footprint" area on the ground, resulting in better handling around corners at high speeds, and better traction in mud/ soft dirt. Wider tires also have more weight to them than their smaller counterparts, thus resulting in the engine using more fuel to turn them.
You cannot rotate tires on a vehicle when the rear tires are wider than the front. They must stay where they are,
For unimproved terrain, yes. However, certainly not on wet or icy roads.
